>Great Folks! 5 Principles always apply: Whoever comes, Whatever happens, Whenever it starts... Just the way life works. OS is just a reminder that life can work. And of course... When it is over it is over. Or something. (Thank you Brian -- and if you can't remember Brian, there are more than a few stories to tell).

>> Yes, this! For my open spaces since 2007 (at least in one particular 
>> flavor) we never break up the day - not even for lunch (“At a certain 
>> time, Lunch will magically appear! If you are hungry then, feel free to 
>> partake. If not, feel free to keep doing what you’re doing.”) My 
>> experience has been that I often have to reassure certain people that it 
>> will be alright - the lack of pre-determined slots makes them nervous. 
>> By the end of the day, they are almost always happy with it - and 
>> meanwhile we have sessions (which is what I call them) ranging from 5 
>> minutes to four and half hours, however much it truly needs.

>> Juliane, thank you for being the first OS practitioner I’ve ever known
